DOCUMENTARY — Almost every Anaheimer knows that the Colony was founded by a group of San Francisco Germans in 1857 on a landsite about a mile-and-a-quarter square ... George Hansen surveyed the tract and laid it out in 50 25-acre lots, streets and a public park. Around it some 40 or 50 thousand willow posts were set two feet apart to form a fence. Some of these took root and sprouted into trees ... Since Anaheim was three miles from the Santa Ana river a main irrigation canal of some six miles or so was dug. According to oldtimers, the canal had a drop of slightly more than 15 feet. There were 250 miles of lateral ditches radiating from the main canal ... On each plot eight to ten thousand grapevines were planted. The first vines were set out in January 1858, but it was not until December 15, 1839 that the Colonists actually came to Anaheim to build a city and take care of their partially cultivated plots. FRIEND—August Langenberger, a German who was one of Bernardo Yorba's son-in-laws, was partially responsible for the success of the Anaheim venture. He secured special favors from the easy-going rancher. Historians believe that Langenberger and Hansen originated the Anaheim plan. HISTORICAL — The 50 shareholders paid $750 each and were Angeles and San Francisco. This firm bought nearly all the grapes that were produced by the fast-growing colony ... Only one of the fifty colonists knew anything about wine-making; but they were driven by ambition and enthusiasm to make their colony the largest vineyard in the world. LAW OF CHANCE—Although each shareholder in the Anaheim venture paid $750, they drew lots for their 25-acre parcels—some of which, naturally, were worth more than others. NAME—The colony chose its name from the Spanish and German. The 'Ana' they took from the Santa Ana river from whence they obtained their water for irrigation. In those days, the Santa Ana river was known to have running water the year around ... The 'Heim,' naturally was German for home; so the name was one with significance: home on the Santa Ana ... Incidentally, it is interesting to note that the Santa Ana river was not actually bridged until 1877 when the Southern Pacific built its old railroad bridge on its line from Anaheim to Santa Ana. Prior to that time the river had to be ferried. The second bridge was over the Santiago Creek on North Main street in Santa Ana which was built in 1885 ... Pioneer houses were little more than shacks ... Fleas were everywhere and early historians were actually correct. Lion Kills Tiger in Beatty Act During Shrine Show for Children DETROIT (P)—The savage law of the jungle asserted itself in the sawdust ring of a circus yesterday. It was quick, it was cruel and Sheba, a royal Bengal tiger Clyde Beatty's animal act slain. Prince, a big African lion the killer. The scene was the Shrine at the Fair Grounds College Three thousand school chick were the audience to Pristful fury. He leaped on Sheba and his jaws into her back in course of an act accompanying barking guns and snapping of trainers. There was perhaps a mere element to it, however. For any of the wide-eyed young were aware of Prince's v accomplishment. It happened that fast. Grumps on hand understood, but said the children were sparring "My kid." said one, "was interested in when he was to get his balloon." It didn't seem like a fair Prince leaped without waist from his pedestal. And F was much bigger than Shebek in the instant of the a Beatty couldn't do anything halt it. He held back other animals his lions and tigers act. A boy about fired a blank gun thru the cage bars against Prince's. The lion let go. Sheba dragged herself away. About an hour she was dead. Beatty mourned her loss. "She was the whole act," said. "I wouldn't have taken 000 for her." The show, of course, went Prince stayed in the act. The tigers performed again night. Gov. Warren Ask FRIEND—August Langenberger, a German who was one of Bernardo Yorba's son-in-laws, was partially responsible for the success of the Anaheim venture. He secured special favors from the easy-going rancher. Historians believe that Langenberger and Hansen originated the Anaheim plan. HISTORICAL—The 50 shareholders paid $750 each and were governed by an executive council consisting of Otmar Caler, president; G. Charles Kohler, vice-president; Cyrus Beythein, treasurer; and Johann Fischer, secretary. They had a Los Angeles auditing committee that included John Froehling, R. Emerson, Louis Jarynsky and Felix Bachman who was a sub-treasurer for the Anaheimers...Kohler and Froehling had wineries in Los PROGRESS—In 1860, Anaheim was already an important commercial center. It was then that Langenberger built the first hotel. UNUSUAL—Weather in Southern California always was unusual as usual. The winter of 1861-62 brought one of the greatest floods in history. Water rushed through the streets four, five and more feet deep. People had to flee to the highlands or take refuge on the roofs of their small houses...Vineyards were ruined by layers of silt. Banks of the irrigation canals were littered with debris...It rained so hard for a month that there was hardly an hour's sunshine...The Olive hills, once lush with groves of California oaks were all but denuded by the incessant rainfall, and the gentle Santa Ana river swelled with its floodwaters gushed and roared sending its turbulent waters across the country-side in search of a new path to the ocean. NITECAP—After all, girls, men are all alike—they're either married or broke. Gov. Warren Ask Red Cross Funds SACRAMENTO (UP)—Govern Warren today called upon his low Californians to control wholeheartedly to the American Red Cross in proclaiming M.I. as the opening day of the Cross fund campaign. The governor noted the Cross' service in rendering mediate large scale assistance families driven from their home in last fall's California floods. He said Red Cross services military men must be greatly panded and that the organization is training 3,500,000 Californians in first aid.

The indictments, in the names of each of the dead commuters, were returned last night by the Middlesex county grand jury to climax its probe into the disaster—the nation's worst since 1918. If convicted on each count, the railroad faces a maximum fine of $84,000. Since no individual defendants were named in the indictments, which charged that the company did "feloniously kill and slay" the 84 riders, jail terms are not possible. Legal experts said there was a remote possibility that the state's attorney general might instigate further legal proceedings against the road aimed at revoking its operating franchise in New Jersey. Government Debt $10.03 on Deal LOS ANGELES Uncle Herb one taxpayer who beat U.S. H. W. Jatho got his 1949 tax refund—a check for three cents from the U. S. Treasury.
